Do you think that they are hot on Osama's tail?
Do they have him on ice right now? If so, what will happen now?

1. I've thought for some time now that they have him and they're just waiting
to drag him out mid-October.

3. And now they are building up the hype to prepare to trot him out.
We have been hearing this since probably November or maybe even a little earlier. It is a scary proposition. Even scarier when it looks like it is entirely possible.

6. No
I believe that Osama escaped to Indonesia. He will never be caught.

4. They've been "close" to him (and other bin Ladens) for years now
Especially the Bushes.

If you get my drift

8. No, I don't believe it.
They've said the same thing several times.

9. Well considering Pakistan has been complaining about lack of US help
in capturing the guys in Northern Pakistan and the mountains in the border ....

I'd say it's bullcrap

11. They don't Have him
If they had him they'd have mentioned him at the convention.

They'd say something like -Now that Iraq is free, we can reconcentrate on Bin Laden. He's running and we've destroyed his network, but he's still out there and we're gonna bring him to justice!-

that'd be the kind of bullshit and they'd bring him back onto the front burner in full view, to not only take people's minds off iraq and the economy etc, but then they'd be set up for the reveal in october of his capture....

--see we caught bin laden...we've already fullfilled our biggest campaign promise!--

12. I don't beleive they have OBL. I think he is most likely dead
in a cave in Afghanistan. If they did have him I don't see how they could have held him for any length of time before someone blew the whistle on them.

If OBL does show up in October I think it will be a disaster for Bush and America. If you think the nation is polarised now, just wait and see what'll happen if the Bushoids are dumb enough to try and pull this one out of the hat.

Maybe they'll trot him out under that Mission Accomplished banner.

13. No I don't believe them.
They guy who said that is an asshole who is protecting the * regime and was the one at the CIA responsible for not catching Bin Laden under Clinton. These people could have caught him but it was more important to them to go to Iraq. That's all they ever cared about. No one really close to * ever mentions Bin Laden. If they had a bead on him you know damn well they would demonize the hell out of him. I don't think he's dead either. I don't even think these people care to stop terror. It suits their purposes to have that terror there. That way they can run around and attack anyone they want.

14. I don't believe we will EVER see UBL captured alive.
For the same reasons we aren't seeing the Saddam trial 24/7.

15. If * himself said Osama wasn't a concern back in March 2002,
the only reason why he would be now is for electioneering reasons. Nothing more.

I'd imagine it'd be difficult NOT to find a guy who needs a kidney support machine in order to live. :eyes:

16. That's what Paul Krugman said today on C-Span2Booknotes today.
He said something like, "how hard would it be to find a 6'4" guy with a dialysis machine?"

I think they'll drag him out in Oct., especially if Kerry's numbers rise again and get close to bush's.

18. Baby Osamas

So, if they find OSL now, So what?

Will we be safer - NO

Will the world be safer - NO

Why, because GW has birth Baby Ben Laden's all over the world.
GW is personally responsible for their birth because of his senseless war and his Nazi tactics.

Now the Baby Osamas are really pissed off at the USA and they are younger,stronger and more fanatic than a worn out terrorist that is in need of a kidney.

They now can say that Bush killed their people for oil,tortured their people,destroyed their property, tried to push democracy and Christianity down their throats and continued to kill their family members.

What Bush does not understand is ,"Blood Is Thicker Than
Water."

Blood is thicker than water is a Family Value.

Family Values is something he claims to know about,but he would not understand Values even if they were put on a silver platter.

20. I think he is dead
and * knows he is dead. He will never be found. Seriously, noone has heard from him in 3 years. Do you really think he is that deep in "hiding"?

Do you think they would ever take him alive? If * told us that he was dead 3 years ago, there would be nothing he could have said that would have convinced the public of the "need" to invade Iraq. OBL NEEDS to be "alive" for * to continue the terra war.

22. Didn't this happen twice this year already?
It sure sounds like a repeat of what went on earlier where they were supposedly on his trail. Then you heard nothing more about it.
